A new case report (pubmed abstract below) was just published in Headache, March 2016 Hemicrania Continua discusses a case report of a sufferer responding to repetitive sphenopalatine ganglion blocks. The typical treatment is indomethacin a powerful non-steroidal that many patients do not tolerate.

The patient was a 52 year old with a 7 year history of problems.

SPG Blocks (Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks) have been shown to be effective for many headaches including tension headache, chronic daily headache, cluster headache and all of the autonomic cephalgias. While it is not universally effective it is miraculous results for many patients.

This patient was treated twice a week for for 6 weeks but utilizing self administration on a daily or twice daily basis would probably give far better results. Self administration is also extremely inexpensive (less than $1.00 /per application and it puts the patient in charge of their pain.

The beauty of the SPG Block is that it can be done whenever pain begins and it is also effective for depression, anxiety and many other problems.

The Sphenopalatine Ganglion is also called the Pterygoid Ganglion or Meckels Ganglion
